the HER ALP Home Newspaper of WEDNESDAY NOVEMBER A Division of Canadian Newspapers Company Limited 101 Main SI South Georgetown Ontario WILLIAM Publisher Editor PHONE 877 Second Clan Mall red Number Volunteers doing a great job We ve said it before and we say it again This town should consider itself very fortunate to have an am bulonce service as qualified and dedicated as that provided by the Georgetown Volunteer Ambulance Service Why are we saying it this time It Ambulance Week again Is it No however if you noticed a story we reported last week the GVAS is looking for extra personnel to bring its crews up to full form Five men are needed however members would make things that much easier for all Now we could bring out all the old latitudes about the volunteer am ulance service that you have heard time and time again They re ex ceptlonally well trained They endless hours and working Their standards for response time are equal to that of any full time service Which brings us to something you may not be aware of Halton Hills Is actually receiving all the benefits of a full time service at roughly one third the cost A full time service has to have a minimum of eight men rotating on regular shifts Wages being what they are that is probably going to cost in the of alone in salaries Georgetown ambulance ser vice thanks to the volunteers costs the province taxpayers roughly per year That full time service we should also point out will provide only one ambulance We happen to have a two- car service That pretty affordable service But it all very dependent upon a group of men willing to give of their me and their families time to be on hand if and when you or we need them It s called dedication If you happen to count that as being one of your stronger personality traits give the ambulance service a thought From the sounds of all their tiviUes plus having met a few they also happen to be a nice group of people to be associated with They need five men Perhaps one of those five could be you No names We received a couple of calls asking why we t print the names of some young people arrested and charged with trafficking in narcotics following a raid which we reported last week All the rest of the facts were there why t the names one caller commented To answer their questions and perhaps yours we don print names of those charged unless we can provide a full follow up i report of the trial that must go hand in hand with the report of charges being laid Simply put is it right to hand that Charges have been laid against burden upon someone who eventually is found not guilty and is not reported as such That morally unfair Besides the weight of punish ment should be applied by the court and not by this or any other paper Sorry about that No folks liked to we did not last Tuesday four normal press day off In honorof Remembrance Day Everything was going along relatively well nothing ever goes really well until press problems cropped up

near the Legion auditorium It was found half way down the embankment with Its Ilghtson and the motor running A strike is the child in all of us By Gerry This week viewpoint looks freedom and the right to strike Freedom is a very funny word It means many different things to many different people Everyone wants to be free If you ask people who have suffered through an existence In a war torn state controlled country they will tell you that freedom Is the most valuable thing in the world Yet when people are presented with too much freedom too many rights they seem to invariably abuse those rights Since the Pearson administration granted the right to strike to federal em ptoyees it would appear that perhaps ethically the decision was right but from a practical point of view it was dead wrong One can say the same thing about strikes in general What the strike amounts to Is blackmail plain and simple If you don t give us what we want we won work andltdoesn to matter who gets hurt in the process The key expression in any strike seems to be we just want our share of the pie What Is difficult to understand is how people who are supposed to be freethinking can reason for themselves that the pie will keep In creasing in size along with all the demands being made upon It Take the teacher strike for instance There Is much more to being a teacher than two months off In the summer and short working hours through the week A good teacher plans a program for his or her students that pays little attention to starting at nine and quitting at three The unseen hours are long the work is demanding and for the most port the teachers are doing a damn good Job The problem then is not paying a teacher what he or she Is worth but what the economy can afford The economy of this country and the countries of the rest of todays world Is in deep trouble Curbing Inflation with wage and price controls Is an eleventh hour strategy that many economists feel comes too late to be effective But in order to work within the freedom of democracy in order to make democracy work we can only abide by what our government Is trying to do This means everyone because if everyone won t pull their weight wage and price controls are useless Back to the teachers Here we have the The learned segment of the papulation If anyone should be able to rise above the want mine now philosophy you would think It would be the teachers What is happening to the learning process however is disastrous I heard a very brilliant professor once say The facts are digested but If a person is anxious the ability to integrate what knowledge Is gained and to put it to use is totally stunted One has only to look at our school system at present to put that hypothesis to work Then we have postal strike Here rights a few can economically cripple thousands of others can In effect try to a nation to their knees This is another group that merely wants their share of the pie Remember hat pie that has no end It would be hard to equate exactly what Is the true worth of an Inside postal worker at this point In time however I believe in the pinCiple that no one la Which brings us back to freedom We have abused freedom In this country It doesn matter if we can point our finger elsewhere and claim to be far better What does matter Is what la happening with us in our own country today And what is happening is terrifying It is a blow against democracy when the government has to step in and deny what many consider to be basic right But when rights are abused when people cannot set reasonable limits themselves that is what happens It Is apparent that the right to strike should be revoked not only for federal employees but for all A strike is child in all of u speaking The child that wants more and cannot un The child that denys what is apparent and states boldly New York can go broke The child that points out Iwont no one can There Is a time to put away the things of childhood That time is now It lime for a nation to grow up On the home front Aah the smell of Xmas paint By Susan The family Christmas dinner is going to be my house this year 1 extended this early Invitation to various my family not because I lovetospcndthrccdayscooking butfromlhe purely selfish motive of self preservation My mother Is an artist which Is terrific when I have an empty wall space that needs filling but her genius at an easel Is matched only by her vagueness in the kitchen Mothers Utile eccentricities have long been accepted by her loving famly but sometimes they can be carried a little too far My poor father who has had to develop the patience of a saint even swears he has found porridge sandwiches in his lunch bag on several occasions I remember one Christmas Day at mother a all too clearly We walked through her front door Inhaling deeply expecting the good smell of turkey and ham to start our gastric Juices jumping merrily Istead we received a lungful of turpentlae that just about finished us all off entirely I believe It was the same year that cranberry sauce remained lucked cosily in the refrigerator throughout dinner to suddenly make an unexpected appearance at eleven along with the coffee and mince Dies I never have figured out what we were supposed to do with It A watchful eye has to Kept on mother during the dinner preparations You could wander into the kitchen and find her basting turkey with a paintbrush or perhaps attempting to carve the poor bird with a knife Apart from confusion reigning In the kitchen other hazards exist Wet canvasses in various stages of completion lean against the walls usually resulting In my young Teresa acquiring a blue face green hands and a sailboat Imprinted upon the scat of her Even though I concede it is not easy live with I can fully understand and with my mothers artistic tern peramcnl as I definitely inherited of her talent I am not too good at sailboats mountains and lakes mind you but when it comes to fainting door frames and window sills I am unequalled However this Is reason why dinner wilt be at my home this Christmas Hopefully they will all be able to smell the turkey roasting and it Is even possible cranberry sauce might make it to the table in time for dinner Then again you Just never know I am after all my mother s daughter Letter to the Editor Theatre story good news To the Editor of The Herald The news hat Hills special Building Committee la considering a theatrelibrary complex certainly deserved front page position In last week Herald Three cheers for those who have at last realized the necessity for such a building As a library user I am very happy involved with little theatre both here and In Brampton I am For the past six years I have been a member of the Brampton Musical Society as no comparable group exists here largely due to fact that there Is nowhere suitable to stage a musical comedy I have worked onstage and backstage at School for Georgetown Little Theatre and although I enjoy anything connected with theatre there is no comparison between Wrigglesworth and the facilities at the Lester Pearson Memorial Theatre in where the Brampton Musical Society presents Its musicals The theatre seata more than ample and has dressing rooms orchestra pit up-to- date lighting equipment and plenty of space for scenery construction and storage The popularity of musical comedy Is proven by capacity audiences which enjoy our shows twice a year in the comfort of a proper theatre where every seat is a good one So many groups and community organizations use the theatre that we find we have to reserve It some IB months In advance Everybody would benefit from a library theatre com proposal and I now look forward to Margaret Eggleion reading further details of this Georgetown Selfrenewal Copyright Dale Carnegie Training a Rights Reserved It easy Thousands of men do It every year In all walks And it sets our economy our country and the world back thousands of years in terms of wasted human resources But worst of alt Is personal tragedy that almost always resutlts from early retirement boredom Gradually a man s work begins to seem endlessly repetitious The rat race hardly seems worth It anymore It at this point that many a boy wonder retires There are no testimonial dinners or gold watches He to work everyday putslnhlswhouraandevendrawaapaycheck Not at lint anyhow The lucky one gets fired in time to make a fresh start Those less fortunate hang on for a while even decades wailing and wondering Waiting for A raise or promoUon that never comes and wondering why There are ways to fight back though and most men do They counteract the urge to coast by running as they never ran before They run until they get second wind that is known as self renewal Self renewal is nothing more or less than doing for yourself what your parents teachers coaches and bosses did for you when you seemed young enough to need it Its the highest form of selfdiscipline And it con be one of tbe most satisfying a man can enjoy Self renewal is the adult ability to motivate himself to reawaken his self pride in the face of spiritual fatigue Self renewal Is Uie device by which boy wonders become men Leaders Creators Thinkers Self renewal is probably the greatest test a business man must race It worth the effort though With he life expectancy approaching century mark years is a long to spend in a rocking Wasn It Thomas Cariyle who said Go as far as you can sec and when you gel there you can see farther When we develop a strong ourselves and our own abilities when wo become willing to choose our course of action and go as far as we can see then we have taken another important step toward he selfpreparation that will enable us to achieve much more In life
